\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeptide and Protein Drug Delivery Using Polysaccharides\u003c/i\u003e offers an interdisciplinary discussion of polysaccharides applied in peptide and protein drug delivery. Chapters consider basic biology of different polysaccharides of current interest and their production at pilot and large-scale stages by various techniques including, but not limited to, cell and hairy root cultures. Other sections examine factors affecting polysaccharide absorption, metabolism, and excretion in nascent, encapsulated, or conjugated forms, with unique coverage of vaccine absorption, metabolism, and drug delivery. A final section considers analytical methods for detection in tissue fluids and homogenates. Accessible figures, tables, and graphical abstracts are included throughout to support understanding.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecific polysaccharides discussed for therapeutic purposes include cellulose, hyaluronic acid, heparin, carageenan, alginic acid, agar and myrrh, acacia, tragacanth, ghatti gum, chitin, chitosan, starch, glycogen and dextran.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdopts an interdisciplinary approach across biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmaceutical sciences and drug delivery, and biotechnological perspectives\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures accessible figures, tables and graphical abstracts across all chapters to support understanding\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines various polysaccharides of current interest and aspects affecting their absorption, metabolism, excretion and detection\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
